Previously on Chapter 1 :

Nagato : I am the USS Nagato, a battleship of the United States Navy, nice to meet you. (hand out)

Enterprise firmly shook Nagato's hand and looked into her Golden eyes and found it very familiar and that sad and calm gaze.

Enterprise : 'Where have I seen that look? Very familiar...'

Starting Chapter 2.

The two of them finished shaking hands and Enterprise continued to look at Nagato's ship, she saw some things she didn't know about, and was quite relieved to see that the Secondary cannon that Nagato was using was the Eagle Union's manufacturer's Secondary cannon. Enterprise asked.

Enterprise : So... Nagato? What kind of ship are you? I've never seen a Battleship without a big cannon like this before.

Enterprise : 'And again Nagato's name is very familiar.... like the name of the leader of the Sakura Empire, but how can she be here and beat her own girl's ass.' (shakes head).

Nagato : ahaha... The situation is a bit confusing indeed, we'd better talk in a more comfortable place. (Soft smile.)

Enterprise nodded in understanding and blushed slightly.

Enterprise : ok, follow me. I will guide you into the harbor, and may your ship not run aground. (awkward laugh)

Nagato chuckled and smiled.

Nagato : Haha... I hope that doesn't happen.

Enterprise jumped off Nagato's deck and summoned her Ship within a relatively short distance of Nagato, who was fortunate that their two ships did not collide. Enterprise also guides Nagato through some of the wrecks of the Siren ship that she had sunk earlier and finally she arrives at Pearl Harbor Base and the little theory she thinks is correct. This was not the world she knew. Because in her world Pearl Harbor Base would not be as easy to attack as this, even if the Aliens attacked at least the Americans could do some significant damage to them. What's more the Americans have dozens of AEGIS Ships and their newest aircraft carrier, the USS Dorris Miller, at the base!

Nagato shook her head again as the memory of her being in her original world returned, she didn't need to be homesick. She saw many shipgirls gazing at her hull with awe and excitement at seeing the United States flag which they thought was the Eagle Union flag.

Wales, a woman in her mid 20s with short blonde hair, blood red eyes and wears a princely outfit but she wears a skirt. Wales looked at Cleveland who was also admiring the mysterious Ship that had come along with the Enterprise.

Enterprise jumped up and landed perfectly in front of Wales and Cleveland. Enterprise put down Nagato whose eyes were rolling, dizzy.

Nagato : Uhhh... so the shipgirl can do that... (mumbles)

Wales : sorry for being rude, but you ship from Eagle Union?

Nagato : Eagle Union? No Ma'am, I am the Baddest motherfucker of the Valley, and I can launch hell on those who disturb the peace of the United States.

Wales and Cleveland blinked a few times, while Enterprise laughed softly. Meanwhile Nagato gave a small grin.

Wales : (cough) Alright Uhm.... (look at the name on Nagato's chest) Miss Nagato. Can you follow us?

Nagato just shrugged her shoulders and nodded. Wales, Cleveland and Enterprise guided Nagato to the Commander's office in this Base. When they arrived, Nagato immediately sat down on one of the sofas with a sigh.

Wales : OK Miss, how about we start over from the beginning? I am the HMS Prince Of Wales, beside me this is the USS Cleveland and you are familiar with the Enterprise.

Enterprise waved her hand lightly, and Nagato nodded her head.

Wales : Well, Miss Nagato... If I'm being honest, who are you? there's no way you're a ship from the Eagle Union or from around here right? (Serious)

Nagato: Oh? how can you claim such a thing?

Wales : I don't want to admit it, but I'm one of the oldest shipgirls here, so I know shipgirls from various factions very well. And you, you're not an Eagle Union manufacturer because of those fox ears and that gold ornament on your head.

Enterprise stroked her chin, she had just noticed Nagato had fox ears and a gold ornament on her head. Meanwhile, Cleveland took a good look at Nagato's face.

Cleveland: Well, and you don't look like the Eagle Union shipgirl at all.

Nagato hummed and looked at the tense and anxious Wales, the calm but prepared Enterprise, and the curious and anxious Cleveland.

Nagato : well, I want to be honest. But on the condition that you won't scream and at least give me the benefit of the doubt.

Wales : You got a deal. Now tell us the truth.

Enterprise immediately focused her attention on Nagato and Cleveland who took out a voice recorder and a small white book.

Nagato pondered for a while, which part should she tell them? thought Nagato doubtfully. After crushing her doubts, Nagato said in a tone that was both firm and filled with sadness.

Nagato : Listen up, stories from the past.

Nagato began to tell the story of the beginning of the war between the Japanese Empire and the United States. From the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Doolittle Raid, the Battle of Leyte, the Solomons battle to the surrender of the Japanese Empire after being dropped by two suns by the United States.

Wales, Enterprise and Cleveland thought about all of Nagato's stories for a few seconds. The story was too detailed to be a lie, even more so when they heard, the Empire of Japan was the counterpart of the Sakura Empire and the United States was the Counterpart of the Eagle Union, or vice versa.

Wales : So.... in your old world, we were just ships and not shipgirls?

Nagato : Yep, that's right, and I'm supposed to be just a ship too.

Enterprise, Cleveland and Wales looked at Nagato with a look of pity and admiration. Still fighting even though your home country has given yourself to a foreign country that destroyed your home country and decides to keep fighting for your new country, it takes balls to do that.

Enterprises looked at Nagato with a look of understanding, they both have a sister, the difference is that Nagato's Sister died while Yorktown still had hope of living.

Wales : I see.... You are IJN Nagato, the leader of the Japanese Empire or in this world is the Sakura Empire.

Nagato shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Nagato : former leader of the combined Fleet, I have no right to be the leader. not after what happened in my world.

Wales : Well... I'm sorry if I brought up a bad memory. But my real question comes, To whom lies your loyalty? In this world the Sakura Empire is still alive and ruling the seas of Asia, who will you put your loyalty to?

Nagato chuckled.

Nagato : The answer is very clear, dear Wales. Of course I'm going to help the Eagle Union, I've served America longer than my native country, and this is a golden opportunity to corrected them and not repeat History.

Wales smiled and held out her hand, and Nagato shook it.

Wales : Welcome to Azur Lane, USS Nagato.

Nagato : nice to join you girls.

On the side of the First Carrier Division.

Akagi groaned in pain as Kaga wiped her wounds with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol. They had fled Azur Lane for several hours and the trauma was still there. Akagi and Kaga are completely embarrassed by the Enterprise and the new ship which suddenly destroys their plans.

Kaga : Nee-sama, where is the pain? (worried)

Akagi : Ahh on my neck and chest.

Kaga immediately took medical action with bandages and all that, until she felt someone's presence. When she looked up there was Prinz Eugen flying with her Rigging.

Akagi : Prinz Eugen from Ironblood...

Prinz Eugen : Wow, looks like you girls really got beat up by Azur Lane, huh? How did you girls get beat up? I thought you girls were in control of dozens of Siren Mass Production Ships.

Prinz Eugen asked with a hint of concern in her voice.

Kaga :.... Azur Lane created a new ship, a very powerful ship. Have fortress-like defenses and have your weapon, the V-2.

Prinz Eugen : What? How could that be? The V-2 is an Ironblood Secret weapon that hasn't even been implemented into the Armed Forces yet! How can they have a V-2?

Kaga shook her head and said in a bitter tone.

Kaga : I don't know, okay. And the V-2 weapons they use are much more sophisticated because they are like Siren aircraft missiles.

Prinz Eugen scowled, a weapon that could lock onto a target and chase it until it was destroyed? How did the Azur Lanes get such a weapon? Eugen asked in her heart.

Prinz Eugen : tell me... What are the characteristics of the ship?

This time Ayanami spoke up.

Ayanami: Her ship is the typical gray Eagle Union ship, does not have a large cannon, has a Hull similar to Lady Nagato's, and has absolute defense.

Prinz Eugen nodded her head.

Prinz Eugen : Alright, I'll tell Frau Bismarck about this and we'll see how it goes.

Akagi : Thank you... Oh, and can you help my junior? While you are talking, she finds the Azur Lane Fleet alone in the middle of the sea, they are planning to ambush the fleet. May I ask you for help, O mighty warrior Ironblood?

Prinz Eugen snorted and said.

Prinz Eugen : Fine, but I will borrow Ayanami.

Akagi: I understand.

Prinz Eugen, Z23 and Ayanami immediately set sail.

Pearl Harbor Base.

Nagato saw the countless Shipgirls working to repair the damage from the attacks from the Sakura Empire, she scowled at the thought of history repeating itself in this world. At least they didn't sunk. Nagato thought in relief.

Nagato decided to step in to help with the repairs, although many were initially surprised to see Nagato, but they accepted whatever help they could use now.

When Nagato finished helping clean up the mess in the main port, she went around the Base. Nagato scowled when she saw how... how poor the defense of this Base was, there wasn't even a single anti-air cannon! Nagato again shook her head and walked back to the Harbor. When they arrived at the port, Nagato saw Enterprise repairing her ship and surprisingly the Enterprise did not suffer any major injuries.

Nagato : Hey Enterprise!

Enterprise, who was directing the Manjuu to repair her ship, was surprised when someone called her. When she looked back, there was Nagato waving her hand.

Enterprise ordered the Manjuu to continue repairs while she herself went to meet Nagato.

Enterprise : Hey Nagato, how are you?

Nagato : (smiles) We haven't seen each other for a few hours, Enterprise.

Enterprise just laughed while scratching the back of her neck.

Enterprise : Ahahah.... so what is it?

Nagato : Can you teach me how to turn my ship into Rigging like you girls?

Enterprise : Oh, that's easy. Try to focus your mind and think you're wearing Rigging.

Nagato closed her eyes and began to focus. Her ship that was originally on the surface of the water instantly shattered into thousands of tiny blue cubes that floated up to Nagato. Enterprise looked at Nagato with an interested look.

as the Transformation finished, Enterprise's jaw dropped at the sight of Rigging Nagato.

Nagato has four cannons on the left and four on the right, on both shoulders there is a box-shaped rocket launcher like the MLRS, CIWS Phalanx mounted on each turret and one Phalanx in her left hand. And for some reason, Nagato held the Flamethrower in her right hand. All in all, Rigging Nagato screamed "War".

(If you want to know, just Search EDF 5 Fencer.)

Enterprise : Holy shit, what kind of rigging is that?

Enterprise surrounded Nagato while stroking her chin. Nagato naturally felt uncomfortable and in an annoyed tone said.

Nagato : Oi, I'm not a statue.

Enterprise : Ahaha... I'm sorry. It's just that I'm curious about your Rigging. (stiff smile)

Nagato let out a short breath before finally smiling again.

Nagato : hah... same, I didn't expect to become a Fencer either.

Enterprise : Fencer? What is that?

Nagato : y-you don't need to know!

Nagato blushed brightly while scratching the back of her head. Enterprise raised her eyebrows when she saw the blushing Nagato.

Enterprise : Okay? by the way Nagato, what weapons do you carry?

Nagato managed to control her emotions and cleared her throat. Nagato extended her hand towards the sea, and the Rigging disappeared and the ship reappeared. The waves caused by Nagato's ship that suddenly appeared made several tugboats controlled by the Bullins and Manjuu pushed away by the waves.

Nagato : I brought a very irresponsible amount of missiles, shit tons of Type-3 Shells and a few Phalanxs that can shred planes, missiles and torpedoes. But yeah, you don't gonna understand. (bitter smile.)

Enterprise : you're right, I really don't understand. But I saw a rather wide field at the stern of your ship.

Nagato : ah, it's Hangar for-

Cleveland came running, waving her arms.

Cleveland: Heyyy! Hornet fleet is under attack from the Sakura Empire!

Enterprise was shocked and immediately said.

Enterprise : Well.... Shit.

Nagato : Shit, indeed.
